At Le Reve you can find famous collections such as La Perla, Prima Donna, Cotton Club. Easy to wash, original colours and feels right. I agree, it does cost more than the lingerie at Primark, but in my opinion it is a good investment. Also you can get there tights, stockings or even frangrance for a romantic and passionate night... And I disagree it is for women only. I would suggest men to look for original gift for their ladies at Le Reve. Just before doing that make sure you know cup size. Just to avoid disappointment...

This is such an old-time glamorous place to shop for lingerie. There's real sense of nostalgia for…read morethe lost reverence women had when it came to shopping for their underthings. Everything here is such a fanatic combination of rich satins and delicate laces... styles that are both subtly alluring and fiercely sexy. The window displays are ever-changing and never fail to woo me inside... with very few exceptions (most waspies just aren't that flattering...) I could easily cart off all of the darling nighties and luxurious knickers they have hanging on their racks. They support and carry a lot of more boutiquey labels and independent designer brands - which means you'll find stuff here that you won't anywhere else. They even have a line for expectant mothers (literally, yummy mummies, oy). This is also your place if you happen to be in the market for a corset or any other burlesque type fashions - they can even hook you up with the same satiny corset designed for Ms. Dita Von Teese.

I came across this lingerie brand recently at a small showcase in a bar. It's definitely one to…read morewatch for the future. The first collection was the Lee-Lee collection inspired by burlesque dancers. It is baeutiful girly frilly knickers, slips, bras and even a tutu! Each piece is handmade from either cotton or silk, and the detailing and care that has gone into it is obvious. I particularly like their website shop that opens with an animation of red velvet drapes to scenes of an art-deco / bordello inspired house! Pieces seemed to range from £30 for pants up to £125 for a basque or silk slip - not too bad when you compare it to some of the other brands locally at Spitalfields etc. I'm told by the designer that the next collection is out soon, so check it out!
